监测项目:

In the event of a naturally occurring infectious disease outbreak or an intentional bioterrorism incident, the ability to rapidly detect that the event has occurred will be paramount. The rapid discovery of a 生物 issue will severely reduce the number of individuals impacted by the event. 因此, Wyandot County Public Health has implemented a comprehensive infectious disease surveillance program.

The program involves network-building initiatives with various agencies at the local and state level, 以及, sophisticated disease investigation and tracking software employed by a contract epidemiologist. 在一起, 监测计划的两个要素将使卫生部门能够迅速发现和应对任何传染病事件,无论是自然的还是故意的. The following is a list of partners in our surveillance program:

  • 怀恩多纪念医院
  • 俄亥俄州卫生部/健康警报网络
  • 俄亥俄州农业部
  • 俄亥俄州自然资源部
  • 怀恩多地区家庭医生
  • 怀恩多特地区的兽医
  • 怀恩多地区药房

以下是韦扬多特县公共卫生部门用于快速发现和应对传染病暴发的监测项目清单:

  • Epicenter: is the primary source of syndromic surveillance in Ohio. 该系统监测医院急诊科和紧急护理主诉,并在特定主诉的数量超过预测病例的阈值时发出警报.
  • 全国零售数据监测系统(NRDM): NRDM收集选定的非处方药(OTC)药品的销售数据. This data is then monitored for increased OTC sales potentially indicating a public health event.
  • 俄亥俄州疾病报告系统(ODRS):在俄亥俄州, 根据俄亥俄州行政法典3701-3-02,某些传染病必须向地方和州卫生部门报告. ODRS assists health care providers 以及 health department personnel in quickly reporting illnesses. 护理人员与通过ODRS报告的传染病病例面谈,努力获取潜在接触信息,以期预防他人患病,并确保病人得到医疗护理.

怀恩多特县公共卫生环境司还收集蜱虫,以监测黑腿鹿蜱和龙星蜱在怀恩多特县的流行情况. 众所周知,这两种蜱虫都会传播莱姆病. 环境司还在夏季设置捕蚊器,与该县一起监测西尼罗河病毒的流行情况. Animal Bite reports are submitted to Public Health through various partners. After Public Health receives these reports owners receive a quarantine notice for the animal. If the animal dies while under quarantine the head is sent off to a laboratory to test for rabies.

对策:

在自然发生的传染病爆发或蓄意的生物恐怖主义事件期间,怀扬多特县公共卫生部门在确保当地人口安全方面的作用至关重要. 在爆发或事故的情况下, 当地卫生部门准备以疫苗接种或抗生素预防以及与疫情或事件有关的教育的形式提供医疗支持. Plans are in place for specific locations throughout the county to be used as dispensing sites as deemed necessary.

备灾:

在过去的几十年中, the number of natural and man-made disasters has increased in the United States. As more and more people move into disaster prone areas, 快速有效地应对这些灾害的能力已成为当地卫生部门的一项重要任务. 人们发现,在灾难过去几天后,寻求医疗照顾的人数急剧增加. 与卫生系统受损和饮用水污染有关的传染病问题,以及使用电动工具和不安全的碎片清除技术的新手房主,在灾难发生后使当地的医疗保健系统不堪重负. 怀扬多特县公共卫生部正在改进我们的紧急行动程序,以包括医疗反应能力和灾后教育,以应对这些潜在情况, 环境测试项目. These updated programs will undoubtedly decrease the number of post-disaster injuries and illnesses.

The types of disasters we are most likely to encounter in Wyandot County, according to the Wyandot County Emergency Operations Plan, 如下所列.

  • 民事障碍
  • 干旱

大规模杀伤性武器应对:

Throughout the 1990's the US government noted a dramatic increase in the proliferation and usage of nuclear, 生物, 化学武器. 在2001年底的炭疽袭击中, 人们很快意识到,我国应对大规模大规模杀伤性武器袭击的能力存在重大不足. 从那时起, 该国地方卫生部门的基础设施已大幅升级,使地方卫生部门能够准备和应对大规模杀伤性武器事件. Locally, Wyandot County Public Health has been working on the following initiatives:

  • 资讯科技升级, 地理信息系统, and telecommunications infrastructure allowing the health departments to effectively 回应 24-hours a day
  • Implementation of a multidiscipline surveillance system
  • 协调培训, 备灾演习和与卫生和保健署及怀安多特县附近的其他地方卫生部门达成的互助协议
  • Providing technical assistance to the various Wyandot County law enforcement, 消防部门, 和EMS机构
  • 国土安全对策的实施
  • 急救人员和卫生保健教育项目
  • 公共信息发布

制药分布:

In the event of a large-scale infectious disease outbreak or WMD usage, the pharmaceutical inventories in Wyandot County would be quickly depleted. In response to this vulnerability at the local level, the federal government has established the Strategic National Stockpile. 库存由疾病控制中心管理,由12个“12小时推包”组成,随机放置在全国各地. 这些推包里装着数十万剂药品和一整套医疗设备,这些都是应对各种传染病问题所需要的. 恰当地命名为12小时推送包, 这些包裹位于美国各地,因此可以在收到要求的12小时内送到任何地方. 一次交付, Wyandot County Public Health will be responsible for receiving, 仓库, 分发药品.

The following is a list of projects that have begun in Wyandot County to prepare for mass pharmaceutical distribution:

  • 完成了一项大规模疫苗接种/预防计划,该计划概述了怀安多特县公共卫生部门如何在短时间内向怀安多特县全体人口分发药品.
  • The identification of a county drop site and point of distribution sites which is where medication would be received, 存储, and distributed within Wyandot County in the event of an infectious disease outbreak or bioterrorism event.
  • 参加演练和演习,以测试大规模疫苗接种/预防计划的部分内容,为事件做准备.
  • 完成预先编写的信息,指导公众在传染病爆发或生物恐怖事件期间采取哪些步骤来帮助保护他们的安全.
